The "Czech" vs. "Italian" Neo-Renaissance Villa. Antonín Wiehl, Antonín Barvitius, and their patrons

Jindřich Vybíral

The study is devoted to an analysis and interpretation of two important Neo-Renaissance villas - the Lippmann villa in Prague-Bubeneč (Antonín Barvitius, 1870-1870) and the Daubek villa in Brněnec (Antonín Wiehl, 1887). Although both are examples of "naturalism", the reigning style in residential architecture of the time, they represent two different visual ideologies. The first is designed in Italian style while the second is in the Czech Neo-Renaissance form. The study concludes by recalling the circumstances of the demolition of both villas.
